PROTECTING TURNEFFE ATOLL AND BELIZE’S FLATS FISHERIES SINCE 2002
For 40 years, Turneffe Flats has been recognized as one of the world's finest saltwater destinations. Our diverse fishery, with the opportunity to land bonefish, permit and tarpon on any given day, sets Turneffe Flats apart from other destinations. Turneffe's crystal clear, firm-bottom, wadable flats offer daily opportunities for tailing bonefish and permit. Additionally, large migratory tarpon inhabit Turneffe’s creeks, channels and flats between April and October, with resident tarpon available throughout the year. Snook, trigger fish, barracuda, snapper, jacks, and several other species, round out an exceptionally diverse fishery.
Belize's atolls are consistently rated among the world's best diving destinations and Turneffe Flats is ideally located to take advantage of the best sites on the atolls. Our great dive team emphasizes personalized service and maximum flexibility. Dive groups, led by our excellent, service-oriented dive team, are generally kept at eight divers or fewer. We offer three dives daily, including a weekly trip to the Blue Hole and Lighthouse Reef (weather permitting). PADI dive instruction is available with a range of courses including Open Water Referrals, Advanced Scuba Diver Certification, Discover Scuba Diving and various specialty courses.
With so many wonderful things to experience at Turneffe, we developed a unique marine ecotour vacation combining world-class snorkeling with exciting and educational activities such as manatee, dolphin, crocodile and birding tours. Enjoy Turneffe’s healthy fringe and patch corals with countless fish species, turtles, rays and a myriad of other reef creatures. Learn the fascinating history of Belize and Turneffe Atoll from one of our talented and experienced naturalist guides, enjoy a lively Belizean cooking class, or just relax in a hammock under the coconut palms.
